Weah Promises Free Education if Elected President

Jewel Howard Taylor & Senator George M. Weah

Senator George Weah, standard bearer of the opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), on Tuesday September 5, announced in Gbarnga, Bong County that if elected President of Liberia at the October polls, he would make education absolutely free from kindergarten to high school.

Speaking last Tuesday at the David Kuyon Sports Stadium during the CDC’s campaign launch in Gbarnga, Weah further declared that his administration would also guarantee the payment of fees for the West African Examination Council (WAEC) administered exams to senior high students in the 15 counties.   Weah did not mention how his administration would pay the WAEC fees or how he intends to make education from kindergarten to high school free of charge. Nevertheless his hundreds of supporters who turned out were excited at the sound of his voice.
